What do you think?
The hand pump sucks too slow. What if I take a spare fuel pump, some spare hose and a couple electical leads and this to siphon off my tank for removal... Is this a stupid idea? Will I end up on the news? |

QUOTE It might not be as easy for an FI car, but I disconnected the fuel line at the engine, got my son to hold it in a gas jug, and turned on the ignition to run the fuel pump until the tank was empty. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It's the same for FI cars. If your tank is in the car, just connect the exit end of your fuel pump to some plastic hose from home depot and run out into the tank of another vehicle and turn the key. Unless your gas is bad you might as well just save yourself the hassle of emptying it into a container just to empty it out again into another car. Detailed instructions are on Pellican, but that's pretty much it in a nutshell. Just make sure you turn the ignition off when there's no more gas or you'll burn out your pump. |
